First constructed in 1386, the Musegg towers have fortified the city of Lucerne for centuries and remain almost entirely intact. The old defensive walls consist of several different towers including the Nölliturm. The renovation required careful reconstruction of its sandstone blocks. It has also functioned as a powder storage facility. Since 1922, the Nölliturm portion has served as a guildhall for the Guild of Saffron. Established in 1400, The Saffron Guild, or Society of Grocers, supervised the commerce and activities of grocers in Lucerne and the surrounding dominions. Today, the guild has over 400 members.
